Informed sources say that while Rajnath Singh and party stalwart Kalraj Mishra are being sidestepped in the issue of ticket distribution of UP state polls, it is the UP state body which is ruling the roost. Sunil Bansal is calling the shots, they say. He is said to be the now blue-eyed boy of party boss Amit Shah. Even the state party secretary Pankaj Singh, Rajnath’s son could not have a word edge-wise in the choice of his own seat, sources aver. They say that this peeved Nagour and Bansal was given a earful, and then only did Pankaj get the seat he desired. Rumours are that it is only after this that state head Om Mathur started distancing himself from the ticket distribution process.
